To put it mildly, the Indian market goes through very positive dynamics right now. I like Essar. It was a challenging project . . . [but] this project is really a gem, a jewel among our projects. There are three regulators in the modern world. First is the American oil market, which produces 9.3m barrels per day. Then Saudi Arabia. And then Russia. So co-ordination of those three leaders, would certainly be beneficial for the market, for the companies, for the shareholders, for everyone.feedback

To be honest, I don't like to talk about sanctions. I believe they are totally unjustified and even illegal. One cannot transfer political responsibility on to the corporate level. We are not part of the international politics. We do not form policy. I am sweating to try to bring the capitalisation up. It used to be $93bn. And then somebody decides to impose sanctions. And my capitalisation, the product of my efforts, goes down to $62bn. It is more like a Henri Matisse.feedback

I'm not jealous of my male colleagues often, but I am when it comes to how they can just shower, shave, put on a suit, and be ready to go. The few times I've gone out in public without makeup, it's made the news.

I've made mistakes. There's no question, I think we all do. Some of them I've tried to own very publicly. And in some cases there were things that I did, until someone brought it up, I said, Gosh, I didn't realize that that was a mistake. I'm sorry about that.
